Item Name:
Moretti Effetre Rod - Transparent Light Teal - 5mm - 6mm
SKU:
1556026
Description:
This is a transparent teal light colored Effetre glass rod made for soft glass lampworking. It is manufactured as a solid, round rod that is designed to be introduced directly into a torch flame and worked into beads, small blown forms, and sculptural details. Transparent teal light is commonly chosen when you want clean color that still transmits light, making it useful for layering over other colors, building depth with encasement, and keeping fine detail visible through the body of the glass.
How it is used:
- Preheat the tip of the rod in the outer flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring it into a neutral working flame to begin melting.
- Wind molten glass onto a mandrel to form beads, then shape with gravity, marvers, and hand tools as needed.
- Pull stringer from the rod for fine linework, scrollwork, and controlled color placement.
- Use as a transparent overlay on compatible soft-glass colors to build depth and subtle shading.
- Combine with clear for encasement effects where you want the teal tone to remain bright and light-transmitting.
